It all begins when Floyd gets his kite stuck in a tree. He throws his shoe into the tree to free the kite, but the shoe gets stuck too. He tosses his other shoe into the tree and that gets stuck along with the cat, the kitchen sink, an orangutan and a whale-among other things. Featuring original music and audience participation, this story by Oliver Jeffers has been adapted into an exciting new production by the team behind Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus.
Big Wooden Horse Theatre Company produces and presents high quality theatre for younger audiences across the United Kingdom and brings the best of British theatre craft abroad.

ABOUT THE PITTSURGH CULTURAL TRUST
The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has overseen one of Pittsburgh’s most historic transformations: turning a seedy red-light district into a magnet destination for arts lovers, residents, visitors, and business owners. Founded in 1984, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a non-profit arts organization whose mission is the cultural and economic revitalization of a 14-block arts and entertainment/residential neighborhood called the Cultural District. The District is one of the country’s largest land masses “curated” by a single nonprofit arts organization. A major catalytic force in the city, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust is a unique model of how public-private partnerships can reinvent a city with authenticity, innovation and creativity. Using the arts as an economic catalyst, The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust has holistically created a world-renowned Cultural District that is revitalizing the city, improving the regional economy and enhancing Pittsburgh’s quality of life. Thanks to the support of foundations, corporations, government agencies and thousands of private citizens, the Trust stands as a national model of urban redevelopment through the arts. www.TrustArts.org
